Document Handling PDF Conversion, Registration and Management of Application and Image Files Main Window View all your documents at a glance with Thumbnails View PageScope Workware can display thumbnail images so you can recognise the contents of registered documents at a glance. The Thumbnails View lets you see the document's composite elements, such as the positions of text and diagrams as well as images in image files. Furthermore, a thumbnail image is produced for each page, and the display size can be selected from three types. The display view can also be switched to any of the five options including Details View and Card View. Card View for easy confirmation of text information Details View is useful for document rearrangement Toolbar By simply clicking the toolbar buttons, you can change the file view and network link, conduct searches, and group, separate, or rotate images to reconstruct the page. File View Icons show the file format of original documents before PDF conversion/ registration. You can also display and edit original documents. The number of pages is indicated for easy document editing and production. Binder View This function lets you bind documents virtually, without actually merging PDF files. Binding can be done easily by creating a new binder and dragging and dropping the files to be edited. You can also merge documents with portrait and landscape orientations. The display colour of each bound document can be changed. Portrait binder 1 Landscape binder Mixed portrait and landscape binder 2 3 Easily register document files by dragand-drop operation Document files created using applications such as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint can be converted to PDF files and registered in PageScope Workware by simply dragging and dropping them into a document folder. Easy searching for registered documents and quick display of target documents PageScope Workware has two search functions: Advanced Search and Easy Search. Each one lets you customise the search parameters. You can search documents based on text, bookmarks and annotations in PDF files, as well as document information such as filename, date of update and title all in a single search operation. You can also use multiple keywords and the AND/OR operative for refined searches. Easier management and use of existing PDF files PDF files stored in a specified folder can be registered collectively without changing the folder hierarchy. This is especially handy when you are already using PDF files for business purposes. Double-clicking on a search result opens Acrobat and keywords are highlighted on the displayed page. Not applicable to scanned data.

Automatic registration of scanned images and files in a target folder with a folder monitoring function PageScope Workware monitors a target folder in set intervals. When it detects newly saved data, it converts the data to PDF and automatically registers it in a destination folder. Correction functions for scanned images can also be added. Efficient sharing of documents through the network In addition to being a personal document management tool, PageScope Workware functions as a workgroup's shared document database by using the Windows file sharing function. It promotes effective sharing and browsing of information such as business plans and estimates. Built-in OCR function extracts text from scanned data Automatic registration Text data extracted by the OCR function is saved in separate files and can be used for full-text searches. Extracted text can also be pasted into another document. When this function is used together with the launcher, RTF files can be simultaneously output for easy data management and use. Target folder Smooth document handling thanks to secure updating of original documents When a large number of corrections are made on multiple document pages, the original document must be edited. PageScope Workware displays the original document and allows editing. Next page PDF file Original file Displayed page/ total page File name The PDF file of an edited document can also be updated. Since PageScope Workware manages original documents and PDF files as pairs, their consistency is always maintained for reliable, trouble-free document use. Storage of image files in Compact PDF format When image files are converted to PDF, they are saved in the Compact PDF format. PageScope Workware distinguishes between text, photo and graphic areas, then applies the most suitable compression ratio to each area. Since this compresses data effectively, file sizes are reduced to 1/3 to 1/5 to minimise the data stored on the hard disk. Word, Excel, and other vector data are automatically processed by the OCR function during registration. An icon indicates whether documents have been OCR processed for easy, at-a-glance understanding. Output pages in multiple formats to meet all your needs PageScope Workware can output a specified page in a registered document as a BMP image file. It can also output text data in a registered document in a text file. Text data in a registered document can be copied to a clipboard and pasted into proposal documents, business plans and other documents. PageScope Workware's output function can produce files of individual pages and also multiple pages. And, it can output a list of document information in CSV format. Linked applications for maximum use of information assets PDF files of documents registered in PageScope Workware can be directly registered in or transferred to another document management or information sharing application. This enables smooth and efficient utilisation of documents as information assets. Documents in PDF text form can also be searched by other search applications. "

Editing Document Files Makes Document Management Easier Registered documents produced with different applications and data scanned from paper documents can be edited in the Main Window, instead of using a separate pallet. The easy-tounderstand interface, which lets you change the size of thumbnails, makes it possible to divide a PDF document into separate pages and insert and rearrange pages, while viewing previews on the display. A newly created PDF file can be registered, saved, and given page numbers. Since documents can be merged on a PC, they become easier to manage and their scope of use expands. Diverse editing functions include grouping, separation, rotation and duplication Separation A multiple-page document can be separated into individual pages. GHI DEF GHI DEF Rotation Each page can be rotated. Portrait and landscape pages in the same document can be rotated to a single orientation. Grouping Multiple pages can be combined into a document. GHI DEF JKL " JKL GHI " DEF Page insertion and deletion Changing the page order XYZ Deletion Page re-sequencing Thumbnail images can be freely arranged.

Correction of scanned document images for easy viewing Scanned images may be skewed when displayed onscreen or the image on the rear side of the paper may be visible in the scanned image, depending on the scanning condition and type of original paper. To make these kinds of scanned images easier to view, PageScope Workware has a wealth of image correction functions. Correction functions can be automatically activated when data is registered by scanning or folder monitoring.

You can also specify the correction functions that you deem necessary and apply manual image processing as desired. Manual image adjustment window Original image Automatically corrected image $

Document Security Essential Security Functions for Centralised Document Management Security and digital signature functions provide advanced document sharing and management High security for confidential documents is assured by the password function, which is also compatible with the Thumbnails View. When combined with Acrobat security functions, PageScope Workware lets you define and set detailed access restrictions. For example, you can permit only authorised people to view PDF files and print them in low resolution, or you can determine whether to permit comments on PDFs and input onto forms. The digital signature function lets you add the approval stamps of various departments to a document, and the stamped document can be saved and managed as a final original, thus significantly reducing the time required for circulating documents. Password-protected documents that were edited or processed on PageScope Workware continue to be protected by the password during circulation. Public key Password-protected thumbnails Digital signature function (public key) When a digital signature is added, a certificate including the public key is embedded in the document file. A preview is displayed when the password is cancelled. (1) The authenticated public key and the public key code embedded in the PDF file are compared.
